Read ourJoe Burrow makes his anticipated return from a Grade 3 turf toe injury that required surgery and has kept him off the field since Week 2. Burrow could have potentially played last Sunday in the Bengals’ 26-20 loss to the Patriots. With the short turnaround, the team opted to hold off his return to Week 13. Lamar Jackson has been hampered with a toe injury throughout the week — his third new injury in three straight weeks. The knee soreness and an ankle injury he experienced over the last two respective contests weren’t enough to stop the Ravens from winning; they straddle a five-game win streak into this AFC North rivalry match. Erin Andrews fires back at sports personalities after holiday comments backlashJackson’s production hasn’t had its usual punch, throwing for under 200 yards in both contests against the Browns and Jets and amassing zero total touchdowns. His mobility is missing, too, combining for 21 scrimmage yards in those games.His toe is reportedly stable and is not expected to hinder his play. Ja’Marr Chase will be at Burrow’s disposal, but there’s the concern of no Tee Higgins. Chase will be bracketed and Burrow will need aid from the likes of Trenton Irwin, Tanner Hudson and Charlie Jones. Lamar Jackson #8 of the Baltimore Ravens looks to pass in the third quarter of the game against the New York Jets.Chase’s expertise as a deep-ball threat didn’t pump his brakes against the Ravens in last season’s two meetings: He averaged 11 catches for 229 yards and hauled in five scores. The scoring margins of those games were three and one point.defense, though I can’t see that being entirely exploited with Jackson’s recent form, a passing game that averages a pedestrian 6.1 yards per attempt and an ultra run-heavy approach from Derrick Henry. Baltimore’s purring defense is another common perception; it hasn’t allowed more than 20 points since losing 44-10 to the Texans on Oct. 5. Let’s remember those games have been against Tua Tagovailoa, J.J McCarthy, Dillon Gabriel and Tyrod Taylor — not one of those ranking within the top 20 in passer rating. An elite quarterback is all the difference in this league. Cincinnati was a team that was in the AFC conversation in the preseason before Burrow’s absence relegated them to irrelevance.
